Maaaaan, being the form I care least about Shin Zangetsu sure looks good...

[ElConvoy]

Takatora looks freaking boss. I cant wait to get my hands on that figure.

[Kidflashdbn 2]

They look amazing

I find it odd that Shin Zangetsu AC release is retail, but his figuart is a web exclusive.

Why is that odd? The AC is a mass retail gimmick toy, not a high end collectors piece. Toys with higher price tags like this have more of Bandai's money to lose if they're poor sellers at general retail.

Shin Zangetsu is sooooo purdy! I need that figuart!

Highly tempted to go all in on Wizard Sics too just for the cool pla monster fusions.

He's the main character of the show and he is very popular. It would make sense for him to be retail. Ouja from Ryuki was retail.

[Den-O]

Not the main character so I don't get your point. At best he's the quadrary (4th) rider of the show. Both Baron & Ryugen take up more screen time than Shin Zangetsu right now. So I'd hardly call his exposure as a factor warranting mass release.

Is he popular? Hell yes he is. But there's only so many slots available for retail releases when it comes to a currently ongoing show, especially one that has like 10 riders.

[ElConvoy]

Not to mention that Takatora already got a retail release with Kamen Rider Zangetsu Melon Arms.

Add me to the list of people who doesn't really care for Energy Zangetsu but still thinks the SHF looks gorgeous.
